This Smart Device Helps Diabetics Reduce the Risk of Insulin Overdose

Created by diabetics for diabetics, Insulog is an intelligent tracker that connects with all major disposable insulin pen brands to display most recent injection data via an accompanying app.

Between constantly sticking yourself with needles and remembering what you ate, diabetes can be a difficult condition to keep tabs on. Even worse is having to always recollect when and if you took your last dose of insulin and how many units of insulin you injected. A lot of outdated solutions currently exist, many of which, still require users to input data manually or write it down.

The idea was conceived by CEO and founder of the Israeli startup, Menash Michael, after he accidentally over-injected himself with insulin a few years back. He developed the Insulog as a way to ensure that this never happened to him or millions of other diabetics again.

Insulog’s patent-pending technology is small enough to fit on your insulin pen and slip right into your pocket. The handy, snap-on device is equipped with sensors that reset each time a new dose of insulin is administered. When turned on for reuse, it reveals data from the user’s most recent dose, clearly displaying when the user last injected, and the quantity.

When paired with its app, users can view their entire injection history and share it with their physician for better diabetes management. Insulog’s battery lasts five to six days and is fully charged in less than two hours via micro USB.
